Re: [Dx4win] Logging FT8 qsos in V9

Jim,

I think he is talking about your email from a couple of weeks ago. The one
in which you talked about a way to map windows to the wsjt-x file that is
hidden in Users/AppDate/ etc.

I have the email saved somewhere.

73,

Dave, N4QS

I have never written such a script.

Re: [Dx4win] Logging FT8 qsos in V9

2018-02-24 Thread David Kozinn, K2DBK 
Short version: Take the ADI file that WSJT-X creates, import into D4W 
making sure that it's set to "Imported QSO is ignored". Everything is 
imported correctly into D4W complete with correct rstS & rstR report 
(e.g., -15, whatever). No need to clear the file afterwards. Very simple.


I don't normally run D4W when doing FT-8 but no harm in that.

I can send you a screenshot separately, it won't post to the list.

runs normally without CAT radio control.
Not sure if this ok or not, but seems no harm no foul.

My PC is running XP,  DX4Win v9, and WSJT.

A few questions:

1), I just did an 'off line' QSO addition to the log file in DX4Win.  Is
that how it is done, manually every time?  Since you can't 'grab' the WSJT
QSO information with a click to import into DX4Win.

2). I just logged this qso as FT8, with 599s each way.
Did not log the db received information that WSJT provided, I assume that
599 is not the way to report the FT8 levels.

3.)  Do you just log all FT8 QSOs in WSJT, and then Export / Import the
WSJT adi file into DX4Win? (just like you would do for N1MM+ etc)
a.)  If yes what does the RST send and received look like in DX4Win for
this import? Is there a SCREEN shot I could reference somewhere to visually
look at?

b.)  Is yes, after the import into DX4Win, do you go back into WSJT and
clear the .adi log, so that next export / import you don't get a duplicate
message in DX4Win?

4.) I have been reading about JTalert, this program seems to have the
ability to provide a logging 'channel' between WSJT and some other logging
programs. Does or will DX4Win have this capability?  Is so is there
documentation available for setup?

5.) Lastly I did see Jim's W10 script for moving qso automatically from
WSJT into DXWin, would that work on XP platform?

Thanks in advance for responses, please do a REPLY ALL, so everyone can
read your responses to my Qs above.

Re: [Dx4win] Logging FT8 qsos in V9

2018-02-24 Thread n4qs 
Ed,

Here are my answers to your questions:

1.  You can enter by hand.  Version 9 supports db signal reports.  Just
enter -01 for example instead of 599.

2.  Yes, you should log FT8 QSOs using the db format for signal reports.
That is the accepted norm.  Even LOTW supports that format.

3.  Yes, I just import the wsjt-x log file directly into DX4WIN-- just like
N1MM+.  DX4WIN will add the db formatted signal reports (if you are using
Version 9).  No, I never clear the log file in WSJT-X.  When you import the
log into DX4WIN the default option is to ignore all duplicates.  So any
previous contacts are ignored by DX4WIN and only any new ones are added on
each successive import.

4.  DX4WIN does not currently interface with JTAlert.  I wish it did!
Alternatively, WSJT-X supports UDP broadcast of logged contacts.  Some other
logging programs use this feature to automatically pull in new contacts from
WSJT-X.  I wish DX4WIN would do that.

5.  Not sure about Jim's script and XP.  You will have to ask him.

I hope this helps.

73,

Dave, N4QS
